Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a female who underwent a breast augmentation revision with a mentor memorygel, 340cc silicone prosthesis experienced bilateral symptomatic ruptures, and unexplained symptomatic ruptures including breast pain, anxiety/depression, memory loss and brain fog postoperative.The ruptures were discovered during the surgery.As a result, patient underwent bilateral capsulotomy, and bilateral removal of implants without replacements on (b)(6) 2024.This report relates to the right side.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation completed on november 04, 2024: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sx mod classic gel, 340cc breast implant had parallel lines of shell wear on the anterior aspect.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no areas of gel exposure were detected during the analysis.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture status identified by mri evaluation includes both suspected ruptures, which are those ruptures identified by mri but not confirmed by explantation and examination of the device, and confirmed ruptures, which are those ruptures that are confirmed by evaluation of the explanted devices.The event described could not be confirmed as the breast implant was returned without detectable gel exposure.Although no rupture was identified, there may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that could not be replicated during the laboratory analysis.At the present time, there is no sufficient evidence to show an association between breast implants and generalized illness (assessing the risks of breast implants and fda¿s vision for the national breast implant registry).As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.The analysis has begun but is not complete at this time.When the investigational analysis has been completed, a supplemental report will be submitted.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
